Agriturismo Selvaggi

Agriturismo Selvaggi is a working farm near Frosolone, the caciocavallo-making town in the inland hills of Molise, Italy, offering a traditional set-menu feast that is one of the most authentic eating experiences in the region. Rather than à la carte dining, the agriturismo serves a generous fixed menu drawn from its own land: home-cured salumi and the farm's own caciocavallo to begin, followed by handmade pasta such as cavatelli with a farm ragù, then roast meats — often lamb or kid — and finishing with local sweets and a homemade liqueur. The food is as close to the source as it gets, reflecting the genuine farm cuisine of the Molisan interior, and the meal unfolds at a relaxed, convivial pace over several courses. Frosolone itself is renowned for its caciocavallo, and the farm's cheeses are a highlight of the antipasto. The setting is rural and unpretentious, the kind of countryside table where the rhythms of the farm shape the meal. Because it operates by reservation, typically for weekend lunches and dinners, calling at least a day ahead is essential, and letting the farm know the group size helps them prepare. The drinks are mostly house and local, including regional wine and the farm's own liqueur to close. As a destination meal, Selvaggi rewards travellers willing to head into the hills around Frosolone, an area also known for its knife-making craft. For those seeking the real farm cuisine of inland Molise — home-cured meats, the farm's caciocavallo, and roast meats served family-style — Agriturismo Selvaggi offers an authentic and memorable feast far from the tourist trail.
